Wreaths
February 26th, 2010
I”ve been collecting images of wreaths for a while now–not that I”ve made any mind you. But don”t you love these? I like the idea of having a wreath for every season–something festive to adorn your door. I”ve got a great one for Halloween and then there”s my ornament wreath. Posie Gets Cozy made a gorgeous winter wreath a few years ago that I couldn”t seem to find in my search. Does anyone remember that? It was inspired by that French Marie Claire crafts magazine…
We”ve had lovely February weather here in Seattle. It”s drizzly and rainy today, but it”s hard to mind after being fortunate to spend the majority of the day outside with my little one sans coat yesterday. We took a long walk with baby in the front pack and then went out again in the stroller to the park to swing. Uly”s emotions are really starting to set in. He”ll be gloriously happy one minute and then fades to instant tears the next–those emotions are just mere steps from each other I suppose.
We had to walk away from the house we almost bought in Ravenna. It was a sad day, but the inspection was horrible! You should have seen the electronic report. It was 17 pages long and I think would have scared anyone away. Such a cute house, though. We were so scarred from the process that we”ve decided to mostly pursue new construction. Is that silly? After envisioning our weekends full of painting fascia, rebuilding porches, trimming blackberry bushes, we have a major case of cold feet. There are aspects of apartment living that I really do enjoy, after all.

You could even find an older home that has already been remodeled and brought up to code?? New construction done right can have just as much beauty and charm as an older home too:) You will find something.
I”m loving the wreaths! I made my first wreath for Christmas if you want to check it out here:

I do remember Alicia”s wreath very well. It was a felted sweater I think and then all the cute bits and bobs on it.
I started one of those yarn wreaths (like the last image) over a year ago and never finished it because I wound up not liking the colors I chose. Maybe I should start over on it- certainly have enough yarn
I love all your choices.
Oh, the house quest is really exhausting.
Hang in there.
Uly is looking so grown up and cute in your last post.
